“Yes, but bomba in Italian is different from bomba in English. You can write what you want, no problem, no pressure. But I said we have to complete the transfer market. I think we have some other players to complete the squad, and the players will be here in the next in the next days are for me, top players. I don’t know if the expectation are bigger than two days ago, but we have to go forward and to think to the good of the the team of the club, of the the squad, But in Italian it’s a different word.

“I think Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Senesi, Robertson are bomba. For me, top player for us.”

“James has a small problem. Like I said, I don’t want to take any risks, especially in this part of the season. Especially for James, because he suffered a long injury last season. It’s important for us, but for him and for Mateus Fernandes, the same. It’s not the right moment to take risk. We’ll work again when we’re back in London.”

“For one club like Tottenham, our level is crucial because when you go in the Champions League, European competition, to complete the list for the financial fair play is very important. Sometimes people forget the rules of the financial fair play, but it’s very important to produce players from the academy. Now we are working on three or four potential very good players like Luca Williams-Barnett, Malachi Hardy and Mikey Moore, even if he’s older.

“It’s part of my job and I work with the same passion, with the same details, with the same behaviour because it’s important for now and for the future of the club.”
